Ahold Delhaize (ISIN NL0011794037) has taken its EUR 1 billion share buyback program to EUR 900.2 million, or 90.02 percent, after repurchasing 360,831 shares for EUR 11.8 million between October 19 and October 23, 2026. The company disclosed the latest tranche in its Ahold Delhaize release dated October 27, 2026.
Buyback nears its final EUR 99.8 million
The latest purchases were made at an average EUR 32.70 per share, putting the October 27 Lang & Schwarz quote EUR 0.10 above the price paid in the new tranche. That difference is small, but the program's scale is material: the company has now repurchased 25,588,054 common shares for a total consideration of EUR 900.2 million.
The latest release links the purchases to the EUR 1 billion program announced on November 5, 2025. It also identifies the transactions as part of the company's reporting obligation under European Union buyback rules, giving the update a defined regulatory and capital-allocation context.
What does the remaining amount mean?
EUR 99.8 million remains before the announced program reaches its headline size. The latest weekly purchase value of EUR 11.8 million represents 1.18 percent of the full authorization, so the final pace will depend on the company's subsequent transaction reports rather than on the October tranche alone. The release provides the individual transaction file through Ahold Delhaize's investor website.
Stock price and upcoming results
Ahold Delhaize is also scheduled to publish its third-quarter 2026 results on November 4, 2026, according to the company's investor calendar. That date gives the buyback update a near-term reporting reference, while the repurchase price of EUR 32.70 provides a concrete comparison for the current quote.
Ahold Delhaize stock was trading at EUR 32.80 at Lang & Schwarz on October 27, 2026 at 3:03 p.m. CEST, compared with the EUR 32.70 average price paid in the latest buyback tranche. The further course of trading is shown by the continuously updated real-time quote of Ahold Delhaize stock.
